Pocono Downs also offered cheap tbred racing in the same era, also on a 5/8 mile track. I remember those 3 1/2 furlong sprints out of the chute. But for wild racing on sharp turns, nothing beat the half mile track Massachusetts bullrings, such as Northampton, Berkshire Downs, Weymouth, Great Barrington, and a few more.

The best thing about those 3 1/2-furlong races is they started out of a chute and the inside horses were at a huge disadvantage so you could basically throw them out.
